Tea party activists attend a rally on the grounds of the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, June 19, 2013, to air their grievances against the Internal Revenue Service and their distrust of growing government bureaucracy. The IRS has been under fire from Democrats and Republicans in Congress since May, when one of its officials publicly apologized for targeting conservative groups' applications for tax-exempt status for close examination.
